Patent number: 8622365Abstract: A pinch valve includes a spring disposed between a movable iron core of a solenoid and an end cover thereof, and which urges the movable iron core toward the side of a tube provided in a body. An elastic force of the spring is set to be smaller than a reactive force of the tube that is applied to a valve plug. In a non-excited state of the solenoid, the valve plug is pressed toward the solenoid by the reactive force of the tube, so as to enable a fluid to flow through a flow passage of the tube. Conversely, in an excited state of the solenoid, since an attractive force of the movable iron core toward the tube is added to the elastic force of the spring, the valve plug is pressed in opposition to the reactive force of the tube for thereby blocking the flow passage.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2012Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: SMC Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshihiro Fukano, Shoichi Makado, Yasuhiro Ushijima

Patent number: 4726435Abstract: A load cell weighing apparatus includes a load cell having one end secured to a base, a receiving member secured to the other end of the load cell, and a load supporting member movable with respect to the base and receiving member, wherein a load to be weighed is applied to the load supporting member. Springs are provided between the load supporting member and receiving member for transmitting the load applied to the load supporting member to the receiving member, and a stopper cooperates with the base to define the full stroke of movement of the load supporting member.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 1986Date of Patent: February 23, 1988Assignee: Tokyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tohru Kitagawa, Sadao Ohyoshi, Yasuhiro Ushijima

Patent number: 4674342Abstract: A load cell has a span resistor hole for enclosing a span resistor that is provided on the beam body, so that the span resistor may be free from the influence of environmental factors such as temperature and moisture and thus can be satisfactorily protected. The span resistor hole is located in a deformation-proof portion of the beam body, whereby the span resistor is not exposed to external mechanical force.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 1985Date of Patent: June 23, 1987Assignee: Tokyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasuhiro Ushijima, Tohru Kitagawa, Sadao Ohyoshi, Yoshihisa Nishiyama

Patent number: 4630491Abstract: A load cell has strain gage resistors, lead portions for connecting them in a bridge and compensating portions for the compensation of the bridge balance, span or the like, which are laminated as metal thin films by means of the thin film technique. A protection film is formed over the metal thin films and trimmed by laser beams, and the protection film is made of a pigmented protection film made of synthetic resin for easy and accurate trimming.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1985Date of Patent: December 23, 1986Assignee: Tokyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tohru Kitagawa, Koichiro Sakamoto, Yasuhiro Ushijima
